August Update

Well, we are 5 days into the new month, and the medical bills have started trickling in.  I’ve added a new field to our debt reduction, but, like the Mortgage, I’m not updating our Overall Consumer Debt field with it.  As I negotiate with the medical community on our debts there, I’ll adjust.  Also, whenever we make payments against that debt, I’ll update the bar.

I was tempted to move our medical debts that I put on the credit cards recently over to that bar, but since they are already on the credit cards, they pretty much qualify as credit card debt.  Any additions to the credit cards from the medical debt will be reflected in the credit cards and subtracted from the medical debt.

I hope that makes sense.
